Question

· Three consecutive integers are such that when they are taken in increasing order and multiplied by 2,3 and 4 respectively, they add up to 74. Find these numbers. ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first integer be x

second integer be x+1

third integer be x+2

2(x)+3(x+1)+4(x+2)=74. ( according to question)

2x+3x+3+4x+8=74

9x+11=74

9x=74-11=63

x=63/9

x=7

hence,first integer is 7

second is 7+1=8

third=7+2=9
